Total Body Mapping

Total Body Mapping

Total Body Mapping is a comprehensive skin imaging service designed to give patients a complete picture of their skin health. Unlike a standard check‑up that focuses only on individual moles or lesions, total body mapping creates a full photographic record of your entire skin surface. This allows dermatologists to monitor every mole, freckle, and spot over time, ensuring that even the smallest changes are detected.

At Mole Mapping Sarnia, we use advanced FotoFinder technology to capture high‑resolution, standardized images of your whole body. These images serve as a baseline and are securely stored for future comparisons. During follow‑up visits, new images are carefully matched against your baseline, making it possible to identify subtle differences in size, shape, or color that may indicate early signs of skin cancer.

Why It Matters

Skin cancer often develops from changes that are difficult to notice with the naked eye. By documenting your skin in detail, total body mapping provides a reliable way to track changes across your entire body, not just in areas you happen to observe. This proactive approach ensures that nothing is overlooked and that potential risks are caught early.

How It Works

  • Initial Session: A complete set of photographs is taken, covering your entire skin surface.
  • Baseline Record: These images form a permanent reference point for your skin health.
  • Follow‑Up Imaging: At subsequent visits, new photos are compared against your baseline to detect changes.
  • Expert Review: Dr. David Bastien evaluates all findings, combining imaging with dermoscopy for a thorough assessment.

Benefits of Total Body Mapping

  • Provides a complete, detailed record of your skin health
  • Detects changes that may be invisible to the naked eye
  • Reduces uncertainty and anxiety by offering clear comparisons over time
  • Supports early detection and effective treatment of skin cancers

Total Body Mapping is especially valuable for patients with numerous moles, a personal or family history of skin cancer, or those who want the most thorough monitoring available. By combining cutting‑edge technology with clinical expertise, Mole Mapping Sarnia offers a service that empowers patients to take control of their skin health with confidence.
